Professor Amy Schmitz is the lead editor of The Cambridge Handbook of AI in Civil Dispute Resolution, a new book published by Cambridge University Press that examines how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping civil justice systems around the world.
The handbook is the first comprehensive global examination of how AI is transforming civil dispute resolution. Showcasing examples like predictive analytics in Brazil’s courts and generative AI in the Dutch legal system, it explores the technology's impact on access to justice and procedural fairness. Schmitz and her co-editors, Marco Giacalone of Vrije Universiteit Brussel and Pietro Ortolani of Radboud University, also examine emerging legal, ethical, and regulatory challenges, including implementation of the EU AI Act and other governance frameworks.
Professor Schmitz is the John Deaver Drinko-Baker & Hostetler Endowed Chair in Law and Director of JusticeTech at The Ohio State University. A leading scholar in AI and dispute resolution, she has published over 75 articles in law journals and books. This year, Professor Schmitz was selected to join the American Arbitration Association-International Centre for Dispute Resolution (AAA-ICDR) AI Ambassador Program and the Board of Directors for the International Council for Online Dispute Resolution.
